Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

Following the successful end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konohagakure has been enjoying a period of peace, prosperity, and extraordinary technological advancement. This is all due to the efforts of the Allied Shinobi Forces and the village's Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki. Now resembling a modern metropolis, Konohagakure has changed, particularly the life of a shinobi. Under the watchful eye of Naruto and his old comrades, a new generation of shinobi has stepped up to learn the ways of the ninja.

Boruto Uzumaki is often the center of attention as the son of the Seventh Hokage. Despite having inherited Naruto's boisterous and stubborn demeanor, Boruto is considered a prodigy and is able to unleash his potential with the help of supportive friends and family. Unfortunately, this has only worsened his arrogance and his desire to surpass Naruto which, along with his father's busy lifestyle, has strained their relationship. However, a sinister force brewing within the village may threaten Boruto's carefree life.

New friends and familiar faces join Boruto as a new story begins.

Boruto is a sequel to one of the best animes I have ever watched but for me sadly it is not 10 percent good as naruto if you are hoping for that. Still, if you consider Naruto a completed anime then Boruto won't be that bad. for me, I didn't even watch half of Boruto instead I followed a list of episodes on the internet that have manga content and some other important episodes and it worked for me again despite that still it is not that good but I will say that the only thing that may be better than Naruto is the fights. ... Boruto has 3 or 4 top-tier fights, especially Naruto and Sasuke fights. I really didn’t think Boruto was necessary. In fact, I’m quite sure that the majority of people still watching this show are mainly doing so just to see what their old favorite characters are up to. I would’ve been perfectly fine with another show about Naruto as an adult, perhaps, but Boruto? Not so much

so why Boruto is bad?
The author wants you to forget how powerful naruto is and want us to believe that naruto is just some stupid old man. They want our love, affection, and every other feeling for naruto to disappear and want us to find those in Boruto who achieve everything without reason and logic but you can say who is so much smarter than his dad but the level of power he gets before even graduating is unlogical (Possesses three change in chakra natures/Subconsciously” added Wind and Lightning Release chakra natures to his Rasengan/had better taijutsu than all 5 Kage combined defeating Momoshiki) and not to mention his own unique overpowered dojutsu and he achieved all that in a week of training so the good training arcs became a one episode training
Boruto’s villains will never match the likes of Madara or the Akatsuki (Shin’s Akatsuki? I’m sorry- are you serious?). In terms of personality, I’ve found that none of the Otsutsuki have been even nearly as enjoyable to watch- and although they’re definitely strong, in a way, they’re not quite as intimidating as those characters either. Do you remember Pain’s Invasion with Kakashi and Jiraiya’s death? The amount of pure emotion and terror those moments held was unexplainable. When we saw Madara running to fight the entire Allied Shinobi Forces, we could see each of them trembling and praying for their lives. And by the point that Boruto is currently at, Naruto also had Orochimaru, who at one point was just about the scariest person in the show. Naruto has some iconic villains with interesting motivations and beliefs — pain, Itachi, Madara, etc. But most of the Boruto villains are pretty one-dimensional, only interesting due to being strong. It makes them more boring and the interactions with them less interesting they are all a bad version of Kaguya
The older characters are never shown as strong as they should be, naruto and Sasuke in particular are just pathetic — even before being literally nerfed by losing Kurama and the rinnegan

I know it's not fair to directly compare the two series, and I am sure that the original manga of Boruto is really good, but it is currently in development and has not progressed that much yet. So the anime makers are just trying to keep things slow until the manga gets its way forward. But I don't think this is fair, making 80% of the series filled with unimportant stuff. They should have waited for some more years. But they wanted the attention of viewers and to keep them engaged. so I hope they wait at least a year or so before they continue the next season

After almost 6 years of mostly weekly new episodes, Boruto has come to a close... to its first part. It started airing very shortly after Naruto's story came to a conclusion and it had a tie in movie that it had to live up to. Did it manage to do it? No, not by a long shot.

See, one of the main problems of having a weekly shonen that never seems to end is that once you run out of material to adapt you either choose to go the filler route or the anime canon route. The original Naruto went with the former and led to ...

Mixed Feelings

Informative

Should you watch Boruto? If you want to see the continuation of the franchise, but you are reading mixed reviews, looking at the low score and thinking is it worth your time, look no further. First I want to start with the fact that I like the show, the main plot of it is at least on point and I hope, combined with what's coming, it might be a worthy successor of Naruto. However, the fillers are.... simply empty, as if you have just wasted 23 minutes of your life. My personal advice is to use Boruto Filler list and watch only manga canon, while ... anime cannon eps are 20 min filler with a chance for 3 min major plot detail.

Story: In terms of the episodes I've seen (skipped 221-286) I believe the main story is very good and it is going to get better "hopefully" in part 2. However the filler eps and some anime cannon are really *skippable* and just there to have something every weekend. Here you must understand that Studio Pierrot started animating Boruto so early on, even reached the manga, while having majority of their staff working on other productions such as Black Clover. The first 50 episodes are mediocre. Afterwards, until around 180 episode, the majority of the eps are simply bad in all directions, with a few 2-3 min major plot things happening. While the last 3 have been amazing. Overall, I believe any Naruto fan will enjoy the story without the fillers. Now if you are fan of the Shinobi World, the fillers expand it by a lot.

Art: This one is hard. The animation changed a few times in some arcs. There were some quality animated fights as if I was watching the Kakashi vs Obito fight (nothing can be compared to that, I'm sorry), but some of the filler and anime cannon eps were atrocious in this part. As if someone opened Paint in a hurry, just so we don't watch the black screen with subtitles. The final two episodes had consistent and good animation, but I guess we can only hope part 2 to keep it up.

Sound: The only consistency of quality in the show. Voice acting on point. Intro & Outro are masterpieces, the fighting and general OSTs are amazing. The only problem is they aren't diverse enough and are overused, but generally on point.

Character: Mediocre at best. I mean you already have the characters from Naruto well-known to most of the watchers. New main characters, which evolve with the show and then you have everyone else - generic master race. Antagonists are potraied mainly as evil, with few exceptions.

Note from me: Ao was an amazing semi-side character, that you are gonna see around 180s eps, if you decide to watch the show.

Enjoyment: The show is "ok-ish" from my perspective. I really enjoyed all the major plot-driven episodes. Everything else is a waste of time, it is not even funny bad.

Overall: Should you watch Boruto? - I think I've managed to answer that above. Always skip fillers! It's an alright show as continuation of the franchise, it just really unfortunate that Studio Perriot couldn't have waited a few years on this one. To produce it with more quality in terms of Art,Character and Story in the side chapters. I rate it around 7,5 without fillers (and 6 with them). Binge watchers will find it more appealing, while those who waited for an episode every week could have been easily disappointed and more harsh in their views.

Disclaimer: Take this as more of suggestion than a quality review, as my main rating is around the main plot and important episodes.
